do_wait: fix waiting for the group stop with the dead leader
do_wait(WSTOPPED) assumes that p->state must be == TASK_STOPPED, this is
not true if the leader is already dead. Check SIGNAL_STOP_STOPPED instead
and use signal->group_exit_code.
Trivial test-case:
void *tfunc(void *arg)
{
pause();
return NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
pthread_t thr;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, tfunc, NULL);
pthread_exit(NULL);
return 0;
}
It doesn't react to ^Z (and then to ^C or ^\). The task is stopped, but
bash can't see this.
The bug is very old, and it was reported multiple times. This patch was sent
more than a year ago (http://marc.info/?t=119713920000003) but it was ignored.
This change also fixes other oddities (but not all) in this area. For
example, before this patch:
$ sleep 100
^Z
[1]+ Stopped sleep 100
$ strace -p `pidof sleep`
Process 11442 attached - interrupt to quit
strace hangs in do_wait(), because ->exit_code was already consumed by
bash. After this patch, strace happily proceeds:
--- SIGTSTP (Stopped) @ 0 (0) ---
restart_syscall(<... resuming interrupted call ...>
To me, this looks much more "natural" and correct.
Another example. Let's suppose we have the main thread M and sub-thread
T, the process is stopped, and its parent did wait(WSTOPPED). Now we can
ptrace T but not M. This looks at least strange to me.
Imho, do_wait() should not confuse the per-thread ptrace stops with the
per-process job control stops.
